1. Incorporate Multicultural Literature

Include books, stories, and poems in which the authors are from different cultures, races, or ethnic groups. For instance, literature taught by Sandra Cisneros or Langston Hughes allows the students to learn about different cultural experiences.

Provide the students with reflective tasks relating tests to their life experiences.

2. Analyze Historical Events from Multiple Perspectives

Teach history with references to as many different cultures as possible and lean more towards those who haven't been told as often. For instance, lessons from indigenous perspectives during Thanksgiving or African contributions to global history should be included. The students then feel valued and learn how complicated historical events are.

3. Use Multicultural Case Studies in Subject Areas

Design lessons that integrate real-world examples highlighting cultural diversity. For instance, science lessons include the contributions of scientists like Chien-Shiung Wu or George Washington Carver. This approach fosters respect for diverse intellectuals' contributions.

4. Incorporate Global Themes in the Curriculum

Incorporate topics such as climate change or poverty into the units and use views from various cultures. For instance, how different countries approach the problem of environmental sustainability in geography (Sleeter & Carmona, 2017).

1. Learn and Use Students' Cultural References in Lessons

Make use of cultural aspects, words, and phrases to which students can relate. For instance, new concepts should be taught using music, holidays, or sports from a student’s cultural perspective. This fosters interaction and socialization with other people.

2. Implement Differentiated Instruction

Ensure that the existing teaching accommodations include using visual aids in the class for Instructional Facilities for English Language Learners (IFELs) or involve group activities for group learners.

3. Encourage Student Voice and Choice

Let the students choose and share their cultural experiences in classroom discussions. Select projects with their cultural background. For instance, give a project involving the students in presenting their traditions or cultural events within their homes.

4. Utilize Collaborative Learning Techniques

Foster collaboration by grouping students with diverse backgrounds for discussions or projects. This approach enables peer learning and encourages students to learn from different perspectives (Gay, 2018).

1. Display Multicultural Visuals and Symbols

Use cultural pictures and cultural posters and hang cultural artifacts around the classroom. For instance, a world map where a student may label their origins or culturally relevant symbols ensures the inclusion of this subject.

2. Establish Inclusive Classroom Norms

Establish guidelines that will enforce respect for all identities and promote equal treatment regardless of the students’ background. For instance, establish a positive norm to develop the rule that each student should be able to express their opinion without interference from others. Such a rule minimizes class discrimination, whereby all the students' opinions are considered equally important.

3. Use Inclusive Language

Model respectful communication by using gender-neutral pronouns and refraining from stereotypes. Encourage students to do the same. This model will ensure students form a critical foundation to adapt to an environment of people from different backgrounds. It will also ensure they learn how to communicate and express themselves without insulting students from other races, thus promoting a safe and respectful space.

4. Celebrate Cultural Holidays and Events

Host events celebrating various cultural holidays, such as Lunar New Year, Diwali, or Día de los Muertos. Students can share their traditions and learn about others festively and engagingly (Hymel & Kats, 2019).

1. Host Multicultural Family Nights

Organize events where families share their cultural traditions, food, and music. These events fosters a sense of community and enriches students' understanding of diversity.

2. Create Community-Based Learning Projects

Participate in partnerships with other organizations at the local level to develop projects that would enhance society and foster cultural sensitivity. For example, pupils can volunteer at certain cultural institutions or organize a charity event where the funds are to be given to an immigrant assistance organization.

3. Offer Parent Workshops

Organize parent training sessions to inform the parents about multicultural education and the importance of the teaching approach.

Develop ideas and materials to assist families in enabling the children at home to learn and honour cultural differences.

4. Collaborate with Cultural Leaders and Experts

Invite guest speakers from various cultural backgrounds to share their experiences and expertise. For instance, community leaders, artists, or activists can provide the students with real-life experiences concerning the adopted cultural beliefs (Ishimaru, 2019).
